To end an incredible two days, we wrapped up filming with a very special trip. We interviewed the incredible Phil Brown, the current manager of Kidderminster Harriers Football Club. Phil is an ex-premier league player himself, and he discussed the need for resilience within his sport and the importance of building resilience. He talked about how he builds up resilience in his team as a manager by using inclusion and honesty. He also discussed the worrying increase in mental health he sees in his players Thank you to NCG for facilitating this incredible interview. Both Tom Burrows and I were in awe listening to Phil talk, as were the PsycApps Digital Mental Health Solutions team Shree Magdani and Lizzie West

Thanks to Beverley Nielsen for the invitation to present at the The High Growth Companies forum this evening on behalf of Kidderminster College. Great to meet so many business leaders and really enjoyed the discussions around skills engagement and business sustainability. Really useful presentation from Judy Gibbs ( was Chadwick) MIEP Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership about support for businesses through the Worcestershire Growth Hub. Events like this are essential for putting business leaders in touch with skills providers, creating an opportunity to drive economic growth and close skills gaps in collaboration.

Thanks to everyone who has supported us this year and over the last decade. Tonight’s 10th Anniversary Celebration is the perfect way to acknowledge the many partnerships which ensure our students Go Further with NSFC Thanks to Newcastle University, Northumbria University, Oliver Wyman, Catalyst, Learn Direct, Newcastle NHS Trust, Newcastle United Foundation, Newcastle Eagles, Villiers Park and North East Local Enterprise Partnership LEP for your support this evening. #GOFURTHER #10YEARS #ALEVELS

Funds donated by Community Champion, Karen Colley, Tesco Kingston Park allowed me to purchase porridge pots for our Newcastle College Automotive Students. Students who have been unable to have breakfast at home can ask for a porridge pot, free of charge, from staff at reception. Studies has shown having breakfast not only helps students stay more alert, but also have improved memory throughout the day. I would really like to make this go a little further for our learners, with more donations if any other businesses are able to help me with donations please do contact me. #GoodForMeGoodForFE #gfmegffe #goodfmegoodffe #tesco #newcastlecollege #ncg Shivan AL Merza
